'Graphology'article had no place in the newspaper

I am astonished that The Standard-Times would spend more than a page on graphology ("The script whisperer," July 20). The credulous article by Jonathan Comey on this quackery is a waste of newspaper space and is a disservice to readers.

The article lists Sheryl Alexander as a "licensed graphologist" — licensed by whom and with what authority?

Before writing, Mr. Comey would have done well to have made an Internet search on graphology, starting with the Wikipedia article on Graphology, particularly the section on Validity, and at www.quackwatch.org.
